Junior Senior were two Danes from Thisted who figured out that the fastest way to a dancefloor is a big grin and a bigger backbeat. Jesper "Junior" Mortensen sang and played nearly everything, guitar, keyboards, bass, drums and percussion, while Jeppe "Senior" Laursen sang and handled the programming. Together they made indie pop that went straight for disco's pleasure centers, and they never pretended to be cool about it.
"Move Your Feet" arrived in 2002 and went around the world the next year, landing hardest in the United Kingdom. It's a sugar-high party record with a chorus that works as both an invitation and an order. You can resist it for about a verse and a half.
They put their records out through EMI and Atlantic Records and called it a day in 2008, a decade after they started, but "Move Your Feet" still sounds like the fastest route to a crowded dancefloor.
